Productivity 1000 Series PLC Firmware Update

We will now update our firmware on our Productivity P1000 Series PLC. Firmware is usually PLC operating system code that is written into a read-only memory. The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) of a PC (personal computer) is a good example of the firmware. It provides the low-level interface between the hardware and software. The firmware for the productivity series of PLCs must be downloaded separately from the programming software. We will be updating our firmware of our Productivity 1000 PLC from 1.2.5.36 to the latest version 1.2.7.37. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-firmware-update Here are some previous posts in this Productivity 1000 PLC Series.

Here are just a few. - 50MB user memory - Can handle very complex applications easily. - 4 built-in communication ports – Easy connectivity to your network. - Data logging up to 32 GB on a microSD card - Add up to 8 IP modules to communicate to your field sensors. This will give you a total of 128 discrete IO points or 32 analog IO channels. - Free Software and 30 days of free training with every CPU from Automation Direct. - Interactive PLC Configuration Tool - Tag Names - I/O Modules have QR codes under the wiring cover. This can be scanned so you can have the latest specifications / wiring diagrams for the module. - Limitless PID – Auto tuning – Individual or Cascade Mode - etc The Productivity 1000 series of programmable logic controllers currently has all of these features built into the P1-540 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) are also known as MPU (Multi Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
